You know that feeling when you see flashing lights behind you on the road, you paid too much for something that went on sale the next day, or when you make a bad move in chess? It's a feeling of "Why did I just do that? I know better than that." Recently, I was playing a quick chess game and was orchestrating an attack just 15 moves into the game. All of a sudden, I left my bishop hanging with my opponent's queen looking down her scope at him. Oh well, you win some, you lose some, I thought. Then my opponent didn't see it. He avoided the sac on my bishop. My bishop was vital in my mating attack, and my opponent overlooked my mistake. I am reminded of when God "overlooks" our mistakes. He promises to cast our sins into the sea of forgetfulness, as far as the east is from the west. It's amazing that an all-powerful, all-knowing God will "forget" my sins if I confess them to Him.
